I feel like I'd actually enjoy League more if it was just the first 15-20 minutes and then the game ended. I only really like that first 15-20 minutes.

I do not understand what's going on with student loans rn. Last I heard I'd need to start paying some time this month and the website says something similar but my next due date is 2028. Enrolling for auto-pay is now an application as well with no discernible schedule or amount to be withdrawn??

Getting dressed is a lot like a rouguelike. Especially when you don't do laundry very often and leave your clothes everywhere.

I've seen like 5 marketing emails where items that would regularly be discounted by $20+ are being discounted by $17.76 and that's so funny

Good Evening, “video games” was a 45 year sociological study conducted by hardware development industries. We are now complete with our study. Thank you for your time.

I keep mixing up MoistCr1TiKaL and Asmongold and I'm so sorry sir. I still don't know who you are but I just struggle to differentiate. Anyway every time someone collabs with MoistCr1TiKaL I have to Google 'streamer blood on wall' to figure out which one is Asmongold

I really hate that as a society we have decided chat bots can do customer service when they're insanely bad at it and it wasn't an easy job to begin with. Fuck this man

I wish I had to rely less on a team at work. I hate constantly picking up unexpected slack and people getting mad at me when I ask them to actually do the work they're getting credit for every day.

A lot of well-meaning people are trying to navigate consumer tech to find products that don't use AI but they don't really know what they mean by that so they're just avoiding products that market AI features but that's like all products including a lot of products that aren't a problem at all.

Glasses that record everyone and store their data without consent and hearing aids that make it easier to hear people talking can't be lumped into the same bucket of things you hate. We can't demonize machine learning and algorithms as a whole that's so regressive.

I get that all the marketing is cringe but half the time it's fucking bluffing because these companies think they'll be irrelevant if they don't say they use AI. Apparently you couldn't even have a booth at the Consumer Electronics Show if you didn't at least pretend to be AI related.

As an American who was moralizing tipping since before I started paying for anything, I still don't get tipping at point of sale. I actually like tipping waitstaff.

But POS tipping doesn't make any sense. You price the products and nearly 100% of the work the employees are doing is required in order to deliver the product. Your pricing structure should just account for that.

Ideally I would prefer a system where employees are compensated more normally but tipping is also not considered rude. I want to be able to tip a small amount as a thank you f service esp. in situations where I am placing above average burden on the employees and I don't want it to be weird.

With waitstaff sure I'm supplementing their wages which is goofy but also everything beyond taking and delivering the order is a service and the establishment is not entitled to the compensation for that imo.

I've loved my subcompact hatchbacks so much specifically because their blind spots are so small. They're so easy to drive and park and have more than enough room for me and my partner and all our things.

Also tall people needing bigger cars is a lie they tell themselves. I'm 5'10 and have been very comfortable driving every subcompact I've been in. Now I am skinny and I can see how your other dimensions may make subcompact cars a bad fit but no one needs these huge trucks!

Wordle would be so much more fun if 'hard mode' was the default and the starting word was a randomized word with unique letters. It would instantly become dynamic instead of the more or less solved state it's in.

I tell myself if something were to happen that resulted in me being on my own (for essentially the first time since Duncan and I have been together for most of my adult life) that I could take care of myself, but I think I'd have to restructure my life Around something to stay grounded.

I imagine the feeling I get listening to KAVARI is the feeling boomers got listening to heavy metal for the first time

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

I do not know how to dance but I feel like if I found myself in the club and they were playing Yaeji, COBRAH, and Shygirl I would just intuit it.
